    Do you feel that Vaping has saved your life?

    I don't know if I'd say vaping saved my life, as I was only a 2 PAD smoker for 7-8 years (I say "only" because I know plenty of 20+ year smokers), but it most definitely improved my life. I enjoy exercise now that I can breathe and have lost 176 pounds in the past 2 years (370 -> 194). I...

    If you had £50-70/$60-80 to spend as a complete newbie what would you buy?

    iTaste SVD was my first VV/VW mod. Still my favorite regulated mod <3

    using cotton for wick

    I second this. I use Kroger sterile cotton balls. Pretty sure any sterile cotton balls you can find in Pharmacies are fine. My cotton wicks vary greatly in how long they last. I have a cappuccino blend that kills wicks in a day, but most of my clear juices seems to wick well for 2-3 days...

    It's interesting that some people honestly think "high end" mod prices are justifiable.

    Ad hominem incoming! But seriously, modders can charge whatever they like. They just have to realize that when you charge $200+ for something easily found for ~$50 that you're only catering to an elite crowd, and must accept the good and bad that comes with that. "Clones" don't have the...

    Mech Mod Problems

    Yup. When I touch the leads together it's 0.0 ohms.

    Mech Mod Problems

    I checked that via the resistance from the bottom of the V2 pin to the negative terminal of the IGO-W. Also if I look at the bottom of the Trident I can see scuff marks from where the brass contacted the pin. Can't really see on the IGO-W since it's pin doesn't really scuff (it's not brass...

    Mech Mod Problems

    Screws are indeed tight. Also the IGO works fine on my SVD. I can't test the Trident on my SVD since it has a 0.7 ohm coil, but the IGO with a 1.9 ohm coil works fine on the SVD but I get nothing on the V2 :(

    Mech Mod Problems

    Evening forum, hope everyone is having a good Friday! I've been messing around with my Private V2 clone and Trident I received today. Been having a couple issues I was hoping someone on here more knowledgeable than I could shed some light on. Long story short I got everything up....but...

    Innokin SVD - For those who have it, gimme the Good, Bad And Ungly....

    Pros: * Stainless steel * Good threading on the 510 connector (haven't tried the eGo threads) * Pin hasn't really "stuck" for me yet * Fits all standard batteries * Easy to use button setup * Ohm readings have been fairly accurate when tested against a multimeter * Performance doesn't really...

    how to get a bigger cloud with what i have.

    I've done a LOT of Protank II rebuilds and I'd have to say the best setup I found was 7-10 (depending on what resistance you want) wraps of 30 AWG A1 Kanthal (round) in a micro coil setup. Fitting 10 wraps in the Protank head can be tricky as you'll only have ~0.5-1mm of space between the coil...

    What one thing that really changed your vaping experience for the better

    I remember I could barely taste anything except menthol when I first started vaping (2 PAD menthol smoker for 7 years). Really ruined the experience vaping unflavored air. No real satisfying body or taste. Slowly my tastebuds repaired themselves and flipped the experience on its head. Also...

    Why vapers are never satisfied: A Theory.

    I'm not quite at 4 years constantly vaping, but I've been around for 3 years (have taken breaks here and there). I remember when juices only came in 80/20 from a lot of vendors and if they offered anything else it was probably 70/30 or 60/40 and tasteless. As far as flavor goes it's kinda hard...

    Why vapers are never satisfied: A Theory.

    If anything it's the exact opposite for me. I love it so much more than cigarettes. When smoking I'd just do the bare minimum to satisfy the habit. I didn't care about big clouds, flavor, or any other improvements because it was just a habit. Vaping has become a hobby for me. Vaping is so...

    Hard time breathing with new e-cig?

    I had a similar issue when I came back to vaping. For me it was a combination of two things mainly: - I found that when taking big hits I wouldn't inhale extra air after the hit like with analogs because the vapor is much easier on the lungs, which made my lungs feel "heavy" after the hit. -...

    Question! Kanger Protank issues and super new...

    I recently started removing the plastic cap on the draw stem of my Protank II. I've heard others have issues but with a ~3mm wick (I use cheese cloth) with no flavor wick I find if I leave the cap on the draw is tight and I have wicking issues when chain vaping. With it off the wicking...

    What is the worst e-liquid that you've tried?

    Anything with lemonade as a base. I just can't seem to make it taste good. Always a harsh TH similar to a dry hit and the flavor is ruined by it if I can taste anything at all.
